The Receptive–Expressive Emergent Language Test–Third Edition (REEL–3)

The Receptive–Expressive Emergent Language Test–Third Edition (REEL–3) is designed to help speech–language pathologists and other early childhood specialists identify infants and toddlers who have language impairments or who have other disabilities that affect language development, by determining the effect of physical and/or environmental risks on early speech and language development.

The REEL–3 uses the behavioral observations of parents or guardians to identify major language problems in youngsters up to 3 years of age. This instrument is a norm–reference tool, especially useful as an assessment and planning instrument in Early Childhood Intervention programs. Comprised of two core subtests, Receptive Language and Expressive Language, and a new supplementary subtest – Inventory of Vocabulary Words. Results, after a 20 minute testing time, are obtained from a caregiver interview with concomitant standard scores, age equivalents and percentile rankings.

The REEL–3 can be used for the following purposes:

Screening infants and toddlers for emergent language–learning problems

• Screening older preschoolers in whom delays are expected
• Obtaining a description of a child's present language environment
• Aiding clinical diagnosis
• Setting intervention goals
• Measuring delays in emergent speech and language development in infants with congenital anomalies and medically related handicaps
